MIAMI, May 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery en Espanol devotes Wednesday nights to the fascinating world of forensic investigations and techniques, showcasing the scientific discoveries and technological advances that allow investigators to decipher the mysteries of human nature while solving seemingly unexplainable cases and crimes. Miercoles de investigacion (Investigation Wednesday) kicks off with the series premiere of ASESINATOS EN FAMILIA (Blood Relatives)on June 4 at 8PM E/P.

There are families that give the appearance of living in perfect harmony, but ASESINATOS EN FAMILIA reveals the drama that can lurk behind closed doors, from cheating spouses and revenge to jealousy that ends in the unthinkable: murder in the family. Every episode of the new production reveals the motives of the family members who figure among the possible suspects or potential victims.

ASESINATOS EN FAMILIA profiles such cases as the Montemayor family of Buena Park, California.

Now that David, Darren, and Deborah are adults, they enjoy the security of working for dad. But when Pete announces his retirement, the formerly close kids erupt in a bitter brawl for the boss' chair. Their rivalry degenerates into a conspiracy, featuring kidnapping, murder and finally, a police investigation that identifies one of the siblings as the culprit.
